Текст песни: Summer Wages + перевод

Never hit seventeen when you play against the dealer

For you know the odds won’t ride with you

Never leave your woman alone when your friends around to steal her

Years I’ve gambled and lost like summer wages.

And we’ll keep rolling on till we get to Vancouver

And the woman that I love is living there

It’s been six long months and more since I’ve seen her

May be gambled and gone like summer wages.

In all of the beer bars all down along Main Street

The dreams of the seasons get all spilled down on the floor

All the big stands of timber just waitin’for falling

And the hookers waitin’watchfully as they sit there by the door.

So, I’ll work on the towboats with my slippery city shoes on Which I swore I would never do again

Through the gray fog-bound straits where the cedars stand a waitin'

I’ll be far off and gone like summer wages.

In all of the beer bars all down along Main Street

The dreams of the seasons get all spilled down on the floor

All the big stands of timber just waitin’for falling

And the hookers waitin’watchfully as they sit there by the door.

So, I’ll work on the towboats with my slippery city shoes on Which I swore I would never do again

Through the gray fog-bound straits where the cedars stand a waitin'

I’ll be far off and gone like summer wages.

Years I’ve gambled and lost like summer wages…
